The lobbyists are the ones we need to restrict & the revolving door between ind. and govt. as well.

I'm not sure why this is a bad thing, other than being extremely alarmed by the fact that Ted Cruz is pushing it. Agreed that lobbying needs to change drastically.
-
Lots of reasons, Congress is currently based on seniority - so huge problems there. We want the smartest and kindest folks, preferably not motivated by money, dead smack at the height of their careers - destroying their retirement prospects if this can't be a career.
-
Though a challenge, a bad legislator can be knocked out at the end of each term. Term limits force out good legislators that otherwise would be faithfully serving.
-
Okay, that makes sense. With cancers like gerrymandering, lobbyist money, and election fraud, it is hard to see what *should* be working right.
-
Those cancers are easier to kill when you can't bounce out decent legislators arbitrarily
-
1) I still feel we need term limits(12 or 20 years, something). People get in to Congress & never leave. Look at Hatch, he was horrible & there forever. Seniority should be eliminated from congress.
-
2) Why does your/my congressmen have more power because they were there longer. That is proof representation isn’t equal. Isn’t it supposed to be equal?

Agreed. The ones on the President’s office should be gone too.
